Google : Few Years before Google offered a free mail service for custom domains and recently Google terminated the service for free and they launched “Google Apps for Business”, where you can use the mail service with billing according to your usage.
Microsoft : After Google terminated the free mail service for custom domains, maximum number of users switched to Microsoft and they provided free service for custom domains, but few days back Microsoft stopped the service for users and for the existing domains you will no longer be able to add or remove accounts in your domain. Like Google, Microsoft also made the service as paid and named it as “Office 365 subscriptions”
Check the official Announcement from Microsoft :

New customers looking to manage custom domains are encouraged to use Office 365, Microsoft’s premium online service, which also includes enterprise-class mail, collaboration and communication tools.If you currently use custom domains with Outlook.com
